"Fun place . Members are very welcoming."

"Hall is hot as air conditioning doesn't work. Not worth the money to rent. This isn't the best club to join, a lot of friction and not worth the aggravation. Exalted Ruler Theresa wasn't the best there as the power got to her head and she wanted access to money that she shouldn't have access to."

— Benjamin Belancik

⭐⭐⭐⭐
